Sana Khan, MPH, PMHNP-BC
Good fit for adults seeking medication management
I take pride in building individualized psychopharmacological plans for each person I work with, because no two cases of ADHD look exactly alike. Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I earned my Master’s in Public Health and worked in community outreach, which deeply shaped how I approach care. With years of experience diagnosing and treating ADHD across inpatient and outpatient settings, I help adults find a regimen that supports their goals, lifestyle, and overall well-being.

Chrissie Brewer, PMHNP-BC
Good fit for young adults seeking medication management
ADHD often shows up in childhood and shifts as young people grow, which is why I tailor treatment to each stage of development. I have extensive experience diagnosing and treating ADHD in young people, and I take family dynamics, school, sleep, and relationships into account when recommending medication. I’m also known for being available to my patients day or night, so you can trust that I’m a true partner in your family’s care.
- Credentials: ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner #402105
- Specialty Areas: ADHD, mood disorders, PTSD, anxiety, psychotic illness, school refusal/truancy, personality disorders.

Good fit for adults who want ADHD medication paired with lifestyle-based care
When adults come to me struggling with focus, organization, or follow-through, I look at the full picture, not just surface-level symptoms alone. I have additional training in Lifestyle Medicine, so alongside evidence-based ADHD medication, I consider how sleep, exercise, nutrition, and daily routines shape attention. My goal is to prescribe the minimum effective dose with the most favorable side-effect profile, so you can perform your best at work and feel your best at home.

FAQs about ADHD treatment
ADHD looks different from person to person, but common signs include: Difficulty sustaining focus on tasks, conversations, or reading Trouble with organization, time management, or finishing projects Restlessness, fidgeting, or feeling internally “wired” Forgetfulness, losing items, or missing appointments Impulsive decisions or difficulty regulating emotions If these patterns are interfering with your work, school, or relationships, a clinical evaluation with one of our psychiatric providers can clarify what’s going on and point you in the right direction. You don’t need to be certain of whether you or your loved one has ADHD to start getting support.
Our psychiatric providers conduct thorough clinical evaluations to assess for ADHD, including a detailed history, symptom review, and validated screening tools. When formal neuropsychological testing is needed for a more comprehensive picture, we refer to trusted local specialists and coordinate care so you receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
ADHD medications help regulate attention, focus, and impulse control by influencing key neurotransmitters in the brain. For many people, that means it becomes easier to start tasks, follow through, manage time, and stay present in conversations and relationships. Our prescribers carefully match medication, dose, and timing to your unique biology and daily demands.
Many people benefit from both. Medication can quiet the noise of ADHD so focus and follow-through become easier, while therapy builds the skills, structure, and self-understanding that support long-term change. After your initial conversation, our team will recommend the approach—or the combination—that best matches your symptoms, goals, and preferences.
Within our team, we treat adults of all ages. During your initial call, our Clinical Coordinator will match you with the provider best suited to your stage of life and clinical needs.
That depends on you. Your provider will consider your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, other medications, and personal preferences before recommending a stimulant or non-stimulant option. We use a collaborative, shared decision-making approach and adjust over time based on how you respond and what side effects, if any, you experience.
It depends on your specific plan and benefits. The Midtown Practice does not accept insurance directly, but we provide a detailed invoice you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Prescriptions themselves are typically processed through your pharmacy and may be covered by your plan. Coverage varies by medication and policy, so we recommend checking with your insurer.
